The Experience

Couples or families will enjoy getting stuck in on the farm collecting eggs, feeding the pygmy goats and making friends with the donkeys. Owner Andrea will leave you her famous lemon drizzle cake, plus a basket of logs to load up the wood burner.

Outside there’s a table and chairs and space to play but no garden – unnecessary with the patchwork quilt of fields to romp in. Bring your bikes and cycle along the narrow (and quiet) country lanes – there’s a lockable shed to keep them in when you’re not pedalling.

The Peak District is yours to marvel at, with a number of National Trust properties a half-hour drive away: Chatsworth House hosts festivals in the summer, or you could try orienteering at Ilam Park. You can walk straight from the doorstep to Dovedale’s Stepping Stones; pack up a picnic and make a day of it.

Our second visit to Winnow Stables. Lovely cosy, comfortable accommodation. Very clean and lovely linens on the beds. Situated in one of the prettiest and spectacular parts of the country I would highly recommend staying at Winnow Stables.

We were a group of 4 adults staying in Winnow Stables. The accommodation was very clean, spacious and well equipped. The stables were nicely furnished and modern. The beds were very comfortable. There was parking for 2 cars right outside the entrance to the stables. We were able to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. I met the goats, and looked at the donkeys and sheep. We were attending the Damgate wedding venue next door which was only a minute’s walk away. Andrea the owner was very friendly and prompt with my email enquiries and the whole booking process went smoothly.

We had a very great time in the lovely and confortable winnow-stables and the owner Andrea was so welcoming. It was the perfect place to discover the beautiful country of Dovedale!

Just returned from a great week at Winnow Stables. Spacious and very comfortable. Beautiful and peaceful location with a homely feel. Lots of friendly farmyard animals that would be especially enjoyed by children. We found Andrea very welcoming and helpful, really enjoyed our stay and we were very lucky with the sunshine.

Location

The neighbourhood

Tiny Ilam’s clutch of chocolate-box cottages is a pretty distraction, but for pub grub you’ll need to walk 30 minutes to Alstonefield to find The George or to Wetton for The Royal Oak. Nearby towns include Ashbourne and Bakewell – the latter famous for its cakes and weekly farmers’ market. It’s blissfully quiet here, the only sound being the not-too-early morning braying of the two resident donkeys, who you’re welcome to visit, and there are plenty of walks on the doorstep which display the best bits of the Peak District.

Local points of interest from Andrea Clarke

  • Amble up the fields just as the sun is about to set, perhaps take a picnic rug and a bottle of fizz to see the sun set over the hills... look up and see the noisy curlews heading home and spot a scurrying hare whizzing through the meadows
  • Fabulous walks and cycling from the doorstep suitable for all abilities. Exert yourself in Wolfscote Dale, admire views from the top of Thorpe Cloud or simply amble beside the river Dove in Milldale.
  • Spend a day at Chatsworth pottering around the gardens and looking around the house before a lazy picnic on the lawns beside cascade. Kedleston, Sudbury, Haddon and Hardwick Halls are all within easy reach too.
  • Take a morning walk from the doorstep across the fields. Take in the gorgeous views as you hike across Bunster and then descend to the famous Dovedale Stepping Stones. A little more walking over fields until you reach The Old Dog in time for lunch.
  • Check out the wildlife, curlews, skylarks, buzzards and kestrels are amongst a few of the regular visitors visible from the barn.If you prefer something slightly less flighty we have pet goats Wilfy and Jimbo who are always happy to receive a cuddle
  • Explore the local market towns of Ashbourne, Bakewell and Leek. Wonderful cafes and restaurants to try out.Alton Towers, Matlock Park Farm, Go Ape and Peak Wildlife Park are all close and great days out for all the family.

Introducing

Andrea Clarke

Andrea and John Clarke took on the restoration job of a lifetime when they bought Damgate Farm fourteen years ago, swapping their professional careers in Sheffield for rare-breed sheep and converting dilapidated barns into three beautiful holiday lets. Now that their two daughters have flown the coop for university they’ve moved in a flock of rescued ex-battery hens and two donkeys, along with a host of other animals who call the farm home.
